entrenched
Entrenched is a collection of images and audio stories that describe my experience as a woman in the military. I started gathering these materials as a way to reflect on the intersection of the trauma of war and the experience of being a woman both inside and outside the military.
I organize the images to emphasize the gap between the moment of shooting these photographs or experiencing the events and the time of collecting or recalling them, a gap of sometimes many years. This rift, along with the divergence of materials and forms – snapshots, art photos and audio – highlights the search for a way to talk about and represent the complex divisions between, and superimpositions of soldier and woman, past and present, experience and reflection.
